NOVEMBER 1, 1930 EASTERLY GALE HITS CANSO The Easterly Gale, with heavy rain, that sturck in on Saturday afternoon and continued all through that night, gave our fisherment some anxious moments for the safety of their boats. Capt. Frank Lohnes was up nearly all Saturday night, fearing that his boat would come adrift and be smashed up. This boat is moored at the Maritime between the two wharfs and Capt. Lohnes said that a couple of times he felt certain she was going to be dashed on the wharf. Fortunately the wind died out on Sunday morning and so far no damage has been reported. At Salmon River Bridge late Saturday night, or rather early Sunday morning a considerable quantity of debris pulp-wood etc. was washed up on the road by the high seas prevailing. At Queensport a number of large boxes were deposited in the centre of the road, together with odds and ends of debris, all of which made motoring somewhat of a hazard. The roof of W.S. Bigelow's barn was completely torn off on one side, and several people reported garage doors blowing off their hinges. The S.S. Robert G. Cann came part of the way from Mulgrave on Saturday but owing to the thick weather and heavy gale, Captain Worthen decided to return. The trip to Canso was made on Sunday afternoon and even then there was a heavy sea running. RALPH P. BELL ON VISIT TO CANSO Ralph P. Bell, President of the Lockport Cold Storage and Fish Co., was a visitor to Canso on Friday afternoon, for a short period only. Mr. Bell came to Canso on the invitation of Mr. H.A. Rice, to look into the local situation, as regards the fishing industry. Mr. Bell made a visit to the plants of the Maritime Fish Corporation; the Leonard Fisheries; W.G. Matthews and Don and that of the A.W. Fader Co., now shut down. He was greatly impressed with Canso as a fishing centre, but deplores the lack of railroad facilities, which he considers a severe handicap. Mr. Bell thought the plant of the Maritime Fish Corporation in its original construction was a splendid building. He discussed prices paid to Canso fishermen and thought that they were quite favorable and as much as dealers could be expected to pay. The rest of the article is missing. It will be remembered that the tidal wave which followed the earthquake of November 18th, 1929, removed an old wreck from her resting place of many years and deposited it across the channel in the Canso Tickle. This wreck, that of the Eva May, had for many years been beached in what is known as Broad Cove, until thus rudely started on what proved her last trip. During this past week, this wreck has been destroyed. J.A. Legere, of Halifax, Chief Engineer of the Marine Department, came to Canso at the request of H.A. Rice and investigaged the matter. As a result the wreck was blown up by a charge of dynamite and the pieces removed. |
In order to remove the keel, it was necessary to obtain the services of Diver Langley, of Port Hawkesbury, who affixed chains around the keel, which was then hauled to the surface and deposited out of harm's way. The work was done with the assistance of the tug Tussie, which has for the past three months been conducting dredging operations in the Tickle. V.O.N. MEETING The regular monthly meeting of the Committee of the Victorian Order of Nurses was held in A.N. Whitman's Committee room on October 14th, eleven members being present, the President, Mrs. C.O. Boyd, presiding. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The Nurse's report for the months of April to September inclusive showed a total of 258 patients, 1052 visits, 82 child welfare visits and six clinics. The Treasurer's statement showed a balance of $364.98, which is considered sufficient only to carry on the work until the end of the year. Ways and means of raising sufficient funds to carry through the winter were discussed and it was decided to hold a Bridge and Forty-five party in the Phalen Hall early in November and to put on a play early in December. Correspondence with headquarters on the possibility of procuring a Nurse was read and it was found that Nurses can be secured if funds can be raised. FEARS FOR SAFETY OF VESSEL Reports from Moncton on Monday of an unidentified three masted vessel being ashore at Blackland Gully in Kent County, N.B., gave rise to fears locally for the safety of the three masted schooner "Maid of France" Capt. Smith, which left Canso on Friday for Gaspe Que., after discharging a load of hard coal for A.N. Whitman and Son. It is thought likely that the vessel reported may be the "Maid of France" although it is sincerely hoped that Capt. Smith may have weathered out the storm. At the time of writing no identification has been reported. FISHERMEN'S FEDERATION SECRETARY HERE Dr. Richard Hamer, Secretary to the United Maritime Fishermen, arrived in the severe storm, only a small number of men turned out. On Sunday afternoon, in the Phalen Hall, Dr. Hamer addressed a representative gathering of fishermen. This meeting was largely to give Dr. Hamer an opportunity to meet the fishermen and to discuss conditions and problems. One of the main points discussed was the charge of 45c per hundred pounds for the collection of fish. The fishermen declare that the Government subsidy of $1975 per month being paid for this service should be sufficient to cover the twenty cents now being paid for fee and carriage, and representations are being made to that effect. Dr. Hamer left on Sunday afternoon for Port Felix where he will address....... The rest of this article is cut off. Our attention was called to an article in the Breeze of Oct. 18th written by W.B. Murphy, referring to a moose which he named "King of them all". This moose had a spread of 52 inches across the antlers. There is hanging up in the hall of the Commerical Cable office at Hazel Hill, the head of a moose shot by Harry Rattray, of the Commerical staff. This moose has a spread of 58 inches. Mr. Rattray is quite proud of this head and does not feel like letting a spread of 52 inches hold the title any longer than he can get his 58 inch spread to the fore. We would now like to hear from someone with a moose head with a greater spread than 58 inches. WHITE HEAD NOTES Freeman McMillan of Isaac's Harbor, accompanied W.D.
